consportThis report sets out the findings of an Economy, Culture and Sport Committee review of people in London with an impairment and long-term illnesses participation in sport and physical activity.

Key findings include that schools and leisure services need to improve the way they support disabled people to be active.  While many new opportunities for participation have been created in recent years, staff and volunteers need the skills to ensure that disabled people can take part, and that they see being active as both fun and a viable part of their lifestyle.
